3 years of ownership, still holding strong! Hands down best no-drill grab bar available
This is hands down one of the best no-drill shower/bathtub grab bars available! After three years of ownership, it still have me the confidence that I needed for my grandmother.Over the past several years of taking care of my grandmother, I’ve owned several grab bars. As she passed 100, she was starting to lose mobility, and the suction cup units just weren’t cutting it. They’re essentially useless when they need to bear any weight. After regrouting/recaulking my whole bathroom, I was looking for something that would do the job without any drilling. This unit can essentially hold my entire bodyweight, and solid steel construction means it’s lasted. It’s even distributed local in long island! I’ve been quite happy with it, and the clamp holds it in place VERY securely if you tighten it adequately. I even bought a second unit as the dementia set in and we moved her closer to take full time care of her.The solid steel construction also means it will start to rust on the inside, around the edges where it was formed and welded, and steel pins, after a few years in a high moisture environment, even with a good powder coat. When I bought the second unit, I gooped up the inside and around the pins with the cheap Blaster Corrosion Stop that you can get at home depot, and that seems to do a good job so far.My grandmother died a few months ago at the age of 104, and I felt like taking it apart to get a good look at the rust. The pins had seized in place and I needed to tap them out with a 4LB hammer (familiar, if you work on cars up here in the north), and they looked kinda nasty. The height adjustable top part had also seized in place, and needed a few light taps too. Inside, it looked like an old frame rail, and I’m going to have to flush it all out before reassembling it. The screw mechanism and the pivot point for the clamp had zero rust on them whatsoever. So I’m not sure this thing would last ten years instead of three, but while you have it, it will stillbe the best unit you can get, hands down. It’s definitely worth the money.Now if you’re listening, Drive medical, you might want to either see if you can get them to do this at manufacturing, or do it yourself before sale:Give the inside a little spritz of cavity wax. I’m sure you can find some stuff that has no odor (unlike cosmoline), and lots of retail cavity wax cans come with an applicator straw. Then maybe goop up the pins and some of the edges too. They really don’t need much to slow the rust. If you’re worried about making a mess in shipping, you could also include a little packet of some type of waterproof grease, like they ship ignition wires and coils with. You can do this for like a buck or two total per unit, and they’ll last a decade I bet. You COULD paint/powder coat the inside from the factory, but nobody really bothers with that when it comes to mass market consumer products (or, ya know, expensive stuff like cars and even buildings), and so I bet they won’t do it for you cheaply. I’m guessing it’s an annoying and expensive extra manufacturing step, I bet, but I could be wrong.Consumers: you can do the same pretty easy. After mounting it on your tub and getting it really tight (but not before! You don’t want grease/wax on the mounting surface where it needs friction!), Spray some Blaster Corrosion Stop (or any anti-corrosion spray) on the inside of the rails and on the pins. Get a little bit on the bolts and edges. Don’t get any on the handle or the mating surface either! You don’t want that goop on your hands, and you don’t want to mess with the grip either. Wipe excess from the exterior. It will drip and dribble a little bit for a few days, but then you can forget about it. As long as you don’t directly blast the thing with bleach, strong solvents, or power wash it, this will extend it’s life by many years. Repeat every now and then if it starts to rust.

Great product supporting safety
Very easy to install. Very secure! Highly recommend.
Jen –
Good tub handle!
Got it really fast! We had gotten one for my friend works really good. At first I didn’t think it fit my tub. But I just had to apply pressure and that was a big help. Really good price and steady it helps really good getting out of tub.

This is great for helping supportin the tub
This is absolutely great for those needing support getting out of the tub after surgery or for a senior very sturdy. I’ve had it over a year.
Madams –
Great product and easy to install
Great for getting out the tub. I don’t have the grab bars in my wall in my bathtub area. This is a perfect solution and not as expensive as getting a plumber to add bars. If your toilet is next to your tub and you need assistance sitting down or getting up it is useful. Very pleased with this purchase. The only thing is depending on your tub you might need to tighten the bar on occasions.
RHB –
Sturdy!
Purchased for mother in law visit. Very sturdy, and easily attached to tub.
LINDA SHULIST –
I was searching for grab bars to install in my tub when I saw this one that simply clamped onto the side of my tub. No worry about screwing through ceramic tile, finding studs etc. So very simple and effective. Was super easy to install and tighten. Height adjustment was easy too. Safe and sturdy, am very pleased.

Cette batte est la deuxième barre d’appuie que j’achète. La première était de moindre qualité et moins chère. Celle-ci semble de meilleure qualité , plus facile à installer sur le bord du bain car la base ouvre plus grand que l’ancienne. De plus elle est ajustable en hauteur pour les personnes plus grandes . Bien heureuse de mon achat

Because of health issues/2 falls, edema etc I was so filled with dread thinking about trying to climb in/out of the shower. I looked at the floor-to-ceiling stability polls as well but I would constantly have to move the pole since I can only step-off on my right foot so that was not a practical option. This adjustable grab bar was less expensive (however that was not a factor) and I could move it easily to the exact spot I needed to feel safe, and it is easily removed for others so that it is not in their way. I absolutely love this grab-bar. I am no longer filled with the dread of losing my balance and that means everything. It is strong and stable and gives me the peace-of-mind I needed so badly. Maybe not for everyone but it is made well, strong & sturdy

Worked good but it had to be I gusted a few times make sure tub it dry .good material .
Anne Nonymous –
very easy to install. very good quality metal, this is not going to rust or wear out. solid metal/tube steel, nothing flimsy. Just do not over tighten on a plastic/acrylic tub or risk damage.
